I make people and stuff with yarn, it's pretty neat.

If you weren't aware, this month instead of doing the Book n' Hook Club we're doing Monster Mondays! Every Monday this month (and maybe next) I'll be crocheting a monster on live stream from a drawing!

Sometimes they're my drawings, but sometimes they're from someone else! If you want to draw a monster post a picture with

#crochetmymonster

on Instagram, Twitter, or in the Club Crochet Facebook Group! Make sure to tag me, @louiesloops too so I don't miss it. I'll choose one at the end of the month to crochet during a live stream! Also you should try crocheting some monsters too It's a lot of fun.

Have your own crocheted heart sitting on your desk or as a gift to your significant other! This Anatomical Heart amigurumi measures about the size of an actual human heart when finished and includes a full unique video tutorial to help you get through the tough parts!

Been making these little fairies from The Legend of Zelda for a while now, but I wanted to do something different with them. I saw someone on Instagram (@callen.nadine) making my patterns using thread to make them super tiny, and I knew that I had to make a little fairy in a bottle!

I'm giving the first one to my girlfriend for sure who is a huge Zelda fan and beat Breath of the Wild like a month before me (I'm not bitter, you're bitter...)

Really happy with how it turned out though. I used fishing line and scotch tape to make it look like it's floating in the bottle.

Check out the full Zelda bundle I'm working on! They're also all (except the big Hinox in the back) finger puppets!! I'm working on a little finger puppet show for them now. The patterns are almost all finished, you can get them here: http://www.ClubCrochet.com/ZELDA

Made this little top hat for a tiny snowman I made and figured I had to make a mad hatters version for the pattern! Figured it could probably come in use for your amigurumi, not to mention would be great to add on a mini snowman!

For the past 2 years or so I’ve been trying to figure out what my main YouTube channel, Louie’s Loops is.

It began as a fun YouTube channel where I made pattern videos, stop motion animations, and vlogs of my life, and it was so much fun. But as time went on it started to become less about my life, and more about the patterns and how to videos for crochet.

I love making tutorial videos and I think I’m really good at it, but that is not what I want Louie’s Loops to be, Louie’s Loops is me, not just patterns and tutorials. This is why I felt it was a great time to start a new YouTube channel built to go along with my new site, Club Crochet. The new channel is focused only on tutorials and how to’s.

If you’re into crocheting (which I have a sneaking suspicious you are…) check out the new channel, Club Crochet. I’ll be posting videos and live-streaming patterns and projects regularly.

If you’d like to subscribe, make sure to hit the bell icon to be notified when I post a new pattern or go live; that’s the only way to really be notified of new videos.

And if your a fan of Louie’s Loops and like what I make there, don’t worry. This will give me a chance to get way more into making fun videos, creatures, and animations, and I don’t have to worry about the clutter of how to crochet videos in the mix. This is mostly just keep everything a little more organized and easier to handle.

Thanks so much for sticking around with me through all the bumps and curves while trying to figure out where Louie’s Loops is going. I truly appreciate it.
